anyone looking for a bike repair instructional video?

Question by EpicRacer: anyone looking for a bike repair instructional video?
i am a young bike mechanic with a few years experience working on bikes. i have accumulated a mass of information during these years, especially upgrading a project bike from $ 200 to $ 1700, and working with several friends’ bikes.

i was thinking of making an instructional movie on mountain bike repair for anyone who has a bike. it would include every aspect of mtb repair. i would package it on a professional looking DVD with a text file to go along with the DVD.

i no there are not a whole bunch of movies that teach these sort of things for beginners and pros alike. i would sell the package at around $ 15 for the DVD and manual (cheaper than any other reapir vid i’ve seen) do you think there is a demand for a product such as this?

I personally use a book, Zinn & the art of mountain bike maintenance, for all my repairs. What I would appreciate is a tune-up video and $ 15 is less than any in-shop tune-up. I never know if I’m actually oiling the chain properly, or if I’m ignoring some important part. You could even go 1 step further and partner with either bike shops or bike manufacturers to include this DVD with every new bike sale.

Being on the trails, I’ve talked to a number of novice riders. Many are not mechanically inclined and struggle even with repairing a bike tire or adjusting disc brakes. A video might be exactly what they need.
